The Domain of Landshut

The domain encompasses the castle, park, economic
building, in which the Wildlife Station Foundation [Stiftung Wildstation] is
located today, orangery and side buildings, and has been maintained, essentially,
in its original form. Since 1988, the domain has been in the ownership of the
Landshut Castle Foundation.

The castle and its grand Swiss Plateau
surroundings are an ideal travel destination for families, school classes,
nature lovers and hunting societies.

The silver helmet within the red crest
explains the name “Hut” (meaning both “hat” and “protection”) as it epitomizes the

Under this banner, the people (“Fähnli”) of
Landshut marched with 40 men into the Burgundian Wars in 1474 – 1476!
